Andy Rubin — Google ’s lead Android — gave abrief interviewwith the San Jose Mercury News that yielded one big nugget : at some item in the not too removed future , Android updateswill surmount back to once a year .
That might seem like a step rearwards , but it ’s actually likely in the best pursuit of the platform . It ’s not just about front - close innovation slowing down , as Rubin aim out :
So we launched [ Android ] , and from our interior 0.8 , we baffle to 1.0 jolly promptly , and we go through this iteration cycle . You ’ve observe , probably , that that ’s slack down a little morsel . Our product wheel is now , fundamentally twice a year , and it will in all likelihood finish up being once a year when things start up reconcile down , because a platform that ’s moving – it ’s hard for developers to keep up . I require developer to fundamentally leverage the creation . I do n’t need developers to have to predict the invention .
Slowing the pace may also help with Android ’s fragmentation problem , something Rubin come up to when Mattinterviewed himearlier this calendar month . Not many handsets fly the coop double-dyed Android , and the more time earphone producer have to update their various skins , the less confusing the Android buying ( and owning ) cognitive process will be .
